ROUND THE WORLD FLIGHT
HAMPERED BY BAD WEATHER. United Press Association—By Electric Telegrann—Copyright LONDON, June 7. A North American Newspaper Alliance special message from Lieutenant Mattern, at Omsk, says: “I battled against bad weather, high winds, and terrific changes in temperature ranging from freezing point to 100 degrees. This affected the flow of the petrol from the tanks. Once I dived 6000 feet, and the wing cracked. Though I am now behind Messrs Post and Gatty’s record, I still hope ultimately to beat it.” PIECE OF BAD LUCK FORCED LANDING IN RUSSIA. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received June 8, 7.0 p.m.) LONDON, June 8. Lieutenant Mattern made a forced landing at Prokopievsk, whence an aeroplane, with a mechanic and instruments is flying to his assistance from Novosibirsk.
